...in my boxers...

0 posted 2002-03-29 05:39 PM


The feelings flow from deep within,
wanting so desperately for me to let them in.
Slowly they flow through my system.
I know they are there and I know when I listen.

Through my blood, and through my veins,
but with my heart you play no games.
I try to live my life despite.
But can I? In spite of this light.

You can't play love for a fool,
but can he, over your eyes, lay wool?
I lie in bed, her on my thoughts;
Feel as if alone and lost.

I wander through love's forest.
Hear my thoughts, their chaotic chorus.
Love takes a man's commitment.
Sometimes I prefer this forest of abandonment.

Abandonment by my own mind;
in these trees, there is no sublime.
Among the moss, a lone faucet
flowing water forces my feelings in a closet.

Lay with me on the wet, damp ground.
Lay with me love, don't worry about the gown.
Can we just forget about the repercussions?
Give in, welcome the consequences.

Lay with me my love,
alone, here, in love's forest.

*sigh* I know how you feel. When you want to let the emotions go, but at the same time... your head is blaring the consequences. Life is crazy. Who knows what'll happen... things have a funny way of working out somehow for the better. *hugs* I loved this. It was romantic, yet it had some edge to it. A sense of reality that I think is missing in a lot of poems about or revolving around love. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it.

Ah...so this is where you've been hiding! Lol

This is very well done---I'll admit...this is really good!

One must have the courage of a lion to deal with Love and the like...

Others are too in love with the sound of their own voice to speak the truth...
